...the letters are to be read exactly as they are transliterated in EVA. But there is no reason to assume that this is indeed the case.

Is there any reason to assume that this is not the case?

I'd say it's simply a matter of chance. What are the odds that of the gazillions of possible letter mappings (disregarding the question whether it's a one-to-one letter mapping in the first place), EVA happens to be the one that gets its exactly right? Even if there is a partial correspondence between some Voynich and Latin letter shapes, many of them hardly resemble their EVA counterpart at all (e.g. f, h, j, k, m, n, t, u, x, z), so the makers of EVA could have easily chosen to assign those letters in a completely different way. And what are we to make of the many rare Voynich shapes, compound ones, etc.?
